Well, like I mused a couple weeks ago, the Jets fired Robert Saleh. Are we in panic mode yet with our defense? I think y’all know what I think. And that is a resounding YES!!! I think the players would be down with it as well. Those Saleh defenses were much more aggressive and much more disruptive than the lay back and wait for offense to get a rolling head start before trying to tackle anyone.
We may not be in dire straights yet, but a loss this Thursday would put us at 0-3, and in last place in the division. Or, we could be in 1st with a win. Yeah, it’s still early, but this defense isn’t getting better. It is just not in position on any given play. Yeah, Greenlaw being out has hurt. But our safety play has been awful. Too many TE drags and screens go for 15 yard chunks. The 3rd down success rate is through the roof. Our corners are doing OK but with little pressure, they can’t cover for 5-6 seconds on a given pass play.
We do so little blitzing that teams pick them up with ease. The 2 biggest plays were the 4th and 5 AZ faced down 23-21, and the 1st and 10 as the Niners were trying to get into FG (uhhhhhh) range after falling behind 24-23. We sent pressure, and Murray floated a duck out to the flat that Marvin Harrison caught for a 1st down, Purdy of course was pressured and got hit before he could get his pass off to kittle in the flat. Int. Game over.
I would make the switch NOW just to be able to adjust to the new defense faster. No sense waiting around.
Woody is a fukn clown to begin with. ARod is the petulant bitch that threw Saleh under the bus like he did to fat Mike.

3 INTs? He tanked on purpose IMO. Wanted Saleh out and Woody obliged.
Don’t forget Saleh had different players. And there are injuries. I still think they should go to a 5 man front. Teams are preparing for the usual 4 man rush. The NE game was like playing a college team or slightly better. Just throw that game out of the mix. Seattle would be the game to go to the 5 man.
Oh and Kittle B day is tomorrow,
Oh man I would be pissed, article say Saleh was escorted out of the building by security!
Not exactly Gould, but the Niners need someone
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Niners signed former Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Matthew Wright to a one-year contract.
Wright, 28, appeared in one game with the Carolina Panthers in 2023. He missed his lone attempt from 50+. He had 14 attempts with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022, where he made 12, including one attempt from 50 and 5-of-6 from 40.
Wright has made 85 percent of his 47 career field goal attempts and 6-for-9 from 50+ yards. He has 83 kickoffs, with 28 percent of those resulting in touchbacks. It was important for the 49ers to find a kicker, as punter Mitch Wishnowsky had to handle those duties on Sunday once Moody went down.
Woody probably didn’t like losing to Darnold.
Go back to the UK Woody. You’re an idiot.

Here’s the details on Moody’s replacement. Familiar face apparently.

Saleh escorted out of the building by security Damm I wonder if he was whining like a little bitch? Crazy shit in NY as now former 49er LB Jeff Ulbrich takes over( I met him once in the 49ers after game parking lot in 2005 got passes from RB Kevan Barlow my wife was doing work redecorating Kevan’s house)Ulbrich was really a cool guy working a grill offered food and signed my old school gold FORTY NINERS jacket along with Alex Smith,Bryant Young,Barlow,Derek Smith and several others.. get this the only 49er who wouldn’t bother to sign my jacket was rookie WR Brandon Lloyd a total DICKHEAD who just hung with his selective posse, yeah even his teammates mentioned he’s in his own world socially..
You can bet Aaron Rodgers was involved getting Saleh fired only putting more pressure on him and the team to produce (20-36 record under Saleh is unacceptable) they have a great defense ( 49er game was worst but top 5 now)but the offense was terrible under Saleh, good luck to Jeff Ulbrich he will need it with this clown still around Nathaniel Hackett is a Fucking Joke..Saleh back to 49ers?? Dump Sorenson?? Probably won’t happen but right now even BOSA isn’t thrilled with what’s going on with the defensive schemes..
AKat the fact that Woody had him escorted out was simply insult applied to injury. I see the daily media here and see the body language and innuendo exchange with ARod and Saleh. Predictable to me several weeks ago when ARod got his first TD as a NYJ. Saleh gestured a congratulations attempt and ARod wasn’t interested.
Given the fact that ARod lost the entire season last year, Saleh had his hands tied.
Woody Johnson is another silver spoon clown like Jerruh who needs to be seen as a winner despite the interference they create to becoming one.
Blaming Saleh for the Offense is simply a joke.
ARod lobbied for Hackett to begin with.
After the 3 INTs Sunday in London I thought it was a giant fuck you to Saleh immediately.
At least Saleh can take Woody’s money while lining up his next gig.

NJ I don’t know anything about this GM Woody Johnson so I’ll leave it to you on the scoop of his mind set ( if he has one)and what all the fans in Jersey/NewYork think of this?This dude I’m sure talked to Rodgers first and he said jettison his Ass so he did..
Just think now and it’s scary to think but this is Aaron Rodgers team now with Saleh the fall guy who really had no QB’s, tons of injuries, but I get it it’s all about Wins in Football and he wasn’t producing enough wins..
Still Rodgers bromance with Hackett who sucks is a downer for me and as much as Rodgers wants Adams and I hope not cause I have WR Garrett Wilson on my FF team and that would screw me..Green Bay Jets are taking over sadly..
Man, this is just like Farhan with Kapler last year. Farhan was OBVIOUSLY the problem, but he gets the golden pass from Greggie and fires Kapler 3 days before the season ends. An utter dick move of the highest order.
So glad he’s out.
I’d take Saleh back in a heartbeat. If this game with Seattle goes sound and we give up a shit ton of points I’m calling Saleh.
The injury bug bites deeper, Hufanga gone at least a month with torn wrist ligaments.
Jesus. Dude can’t stay on the field one game/
Devin White released by the Eagles, she the Niners be interested?
We need all the bodies we can get.
AKat Woody is the OWNER of the NYJ team.
The band-aid billionaire of Johnson & Johnson lineage.
A dumbass Blueblood that could wipe his ass with Benjamins if he wanted to.
Here’s another tidbit on his way of handling a job he has no qualifications for.
https://thejetpress.com/ny-jets-fans-have-kyle-shanahan-49ers-thank-robert-saleh-firing-01j9pc463hch
Talk about being blindsided Saleh had no clue starting his day, he was even going to consider strongly to relieve Hackett of play calling.5 minutes later he was fired and escorted out of the building without even allowed to talk to his players.That fucked up by a dysfunctional organization imo..
Fuck. All I get from that article is we wanted Jeff Ulbrich. Wish we would have gotten him last year.
And Woody might have fallen for the bait Chuck.
Maybe we want Saleh back? Psych job?
Who knows what the spoiled rich MFukr is thinking?
Unfortunately he doesn’t have a clue and it cost Saleh his job.
ARod has dirty hands as well IMO. Their problem is on offense which clearly implicates Hackett overall.
Ulbrich would of been the perfect guy to bring back with his history being a Niner to start his career.He’s well respected throughout football and had Jets D humming.I’m sure BOSA would of been all in getting him back for sure..
Shanahan wanted him but had to go in another direction when even a doofus owner/GM realized hey if Shanahan wants him back we have to lock Ulbrich up, which they did..
Unless Hackett and ARod put some W’s on the table the HC takes the blame apparently.
Saleh demoted Hackett then gets canned?
Geez what a circus.

Fuck. I just don’t get that no one nationally seems to be talking about our defense, which has fallen from 3rd in points allowed to 13th.
Yeah, the red zone offense sucks. Yeah, not haveing CMC hurts. but we have to do a better job scoring. A lot better.
Every side of the ball is now in struggle mode.
These guys better get fucking angry and do something. They are going through the motions.
Just like the SF Giants this year our 49ers have some real issues with their FO. Injuries will decimate a team but we are losing games by not adjusting our play. Teams have just figured us out. I would love to get Saleh back more because on his enthusiasm. I remember he also played a soft defense at times and it was pretty infuriating but I still think he’s better that what we have now.
Only been in Florida for 3 weeks and already have had 2 fucking hurricanes coming our way. As of now this one is supposed to miss us like the last one but until it hits land nothing is for certain. This Milton is a big bad one. We are only 4 miles from the Alabama border and from what I hear is most people think this part of Florida is really Alabama.
Holy shit, Winder. Hope all goes well. Got a friend in Asheville NC, and he escaped major damage, but a 30′ tree did slowly tip over and lean against his house. It took him 2 hours to chainsaw a path to his street as so many trees came down. He got his power back on yesterday after running on generator for 2 weeks.
He said it looks like a bomb went off in town. He says that everyone is totally pitching in to clean things up and that everyone is super helpful.
Thanks, looks like we are going to get lucky once again. Feel terrible for all the people who will be impacted but am truly grateful it probably won’t be us.
My grandkids are in the Tampa area and went over to Melbourne to get away from the projected path.
Melbourne will still feel the effects but on the Eastern side.
Be safe Winder. Mother nature don’t mess around.
Boston Pitcher Luis Tiant passed way, 83 years old, he was fun to watch
Looks like ARod is catching some justifiable flak.

All the best for you and your family members Winder, Damm these hurricanes keep popping up in Florida is insane and deadly.Hurricane Milton? how do they come up with these names? It reminds me of and old cartoon show from the 60’s called “Milton the Monster” where a kooky lab dude and his assistant created him and the first thing he said was I’m Milton your brand new son while smoke popped out of his head..🤯
Hey Niners should take a flyer on LB Devin White still only 26 released by Eagles? A top 5 pick in draft seems crazy he’s a F/A now..With Greenlaw still out for who knows longer why not?
How very odd. I just watched the intro to Milton the Monster yesterday. Milton on the brain I guess.
Yeah, I’d do it. Just for the fact we need bodies that aren’t broken.
Exactly the point Woody. Addition by subtraction works for morons.
